Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is the best of Stu Gotson Company Live on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
We have a loaded show for you today. Big guest,
big names.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Kenny Albert going to join us at three twenty five,
Mike Greenberg, who was sitting courtside last night at the
Mecca for Nick Sixers, Big damn Big Game two. I
told you agreed to get to join us at around
four to twenty five. And Colin Cowherd, what is good
to join us at around four forty five. We're gonna
(00:46):
have to be disciplined today in terms of clock management.
That is inside radio right there. But Colin's going to
join us at four forty five today because we this show.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
We're filling in for Colin Cowherd tomorrow. What how about that?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Yes, they couldn't get Ai Colin to do it.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
No, but we'll have Ai Colin on as a guest. Yeah, defineper.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
That is such a good line, soz he last night
we had two games two big game twos. In the NBA,
San Antonio ties their series up with Minnesota one game apiece.
The Knicks are up two games to nothing on Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
But that's not the story from the NBA last night.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I feel like the story is Draymond Green running his
mouth again.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yes, so we have sound of him talking to Charles Barkley,
and there was this, you know, Barkley was basically telling him, Hey,
it's a young players league. You guys are pretty much done.
You and Steph. I don't see it happening again. And
then Draymond's response decided to have like a It was cutting,
it was odd, and it was I think inappropriate. Let's
(01:50):
listen to it.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Okay, sports are for young people.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
You hope to have a great, long career, but sports
nobody wins.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
When that third seven.
Speaker 8 (02:00):
Thirty eight that you said what you said, I didn't
want to hear if he believes what you're talking, Yeah,
I mean I think the goal is just to not
look like you in the Houston Rockets uniform.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Yeah, it is ultimately the goal for us, Like we
don't want to What does that look like?
Speaker 8 (02:16):
Did you see it?
Speaker 7 (02:17):
I'm just asking I saw it.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
That doesn't like. First of all, let's see Houston Rockets
Charles Barkley his last year in Houston. Last year averaged
fourteen and a half points, yea ten and a half rebounds. Yes,
I'm going to now look at Draymond Green's stat line
for his entire career, and I will not be able
(02:43):
to find fourteen and a half points and I will
not be able to find even double figure rebounds.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yes, go ahead, tell it so, Stu.
Speaker 9 (02:50):
In his four years in Houston, Chuck averaged sixteen, twelve
and four, including averaging eighteen and twelve during a run
to the Western Conference.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Now Draymond's a guest on Charlesy's show too, so that
makes it even more disrespectful.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And let me just say this, I don't care how
many titles you win. It does not define who you
are as a person. Right, It does not give you
the green light to all of a sudden be this.
Whatever it is what Draymond is right here, whatever it
is that Klay Thompson does when he breaks up with
Meghan the Stallion and then just goes on a livestaman
(03:26):
says here, I am enjoying my life as a four
time NBA champion. It doesn't mean anything outside of basketball.
So Draymond just because you won those championships does not
mean you can come here and disrespect Charles Barkley, disrespect
the game. It doesn't like. The thing I love about
Charles Barkley is he doesn't let his not winning a
championship define who he is. That man went on camera
(03:48):
every single day and is the most confident person out there,
So it doesn't matter if he won those championships or not.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So I'm agreeing with everything that it is you're saying.
You can't do that, especially if you're not the reason,
the main reason that that team won four NBA titles
and Draymond he.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Is the third. It's you know, you could argue Steve.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Kerr and put him ahead of Draymond Green, but everyone
would would agree. I would think, except for Draymond Green,
that Charles Barkley was the superior player to Draymond Green.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Look, Horace Grant isn't gonna come on inside the NBA
and diss Charles Barkley like that, Okay, right, largely because
he played against him and probably got cooked by Charles
Barkley a ton, But he is not the reason they
won those champions.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
It's such a.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Great example because Draymond Green is Horace Grant. Horace Grant
was the third person on those Bulls teams behind Michael
and Scott.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
He's Horace three point zhos. You know, he was the
first one. That it was Dennis and now it's Draymond right.
Speaker 9 (04:41):
Yes, I am so tired of Draymond Green. Me and
Stu Gotts have been on the anti Draymond Green island
where you could have drafted a ton of players in
that scenario. I know Draymond Green is an all NBA
level defender. I know he plays a big role on
those Warriors teams. Draymond Green, though, looks in the mirror
(05:05):
and thinks that he is the sole reason.
Speaker 10 (05:08):
For why the Warriors were the Warriors.
Speaker 9 (05:10):
You swap PJ. Tucker, Paul Millsap, and Gerald Wallace with
Draymond Green. I hate to break it at Draymond Green.
Those teams probably win the same amount of titles with
those players in their peak.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well, the Bulls did it because they had Horace Grant
for three NBA titles, Jordan took two years off, Elijah
won won two titles that he really didn't win, and
then Michael came back and they did it again three
consecutive titles, not with Horace Grant, with Dennis Robmin.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
So, yeah, I know basketball is a team sport, of
course it is, right, but it you know, in terms
of pride, in terms of what you can do, in
terms of your skill set, like one on one is
like the ultimate test, is it? Not Like I'm not
a good one on one player. I would much rather
play five on five. The better players are the better
one on one players. Who's Draymond beaton? I know he's
(05:58):
a great defender, right, I know he blows, But who's
he beating amongst the greats? Like, and everybody's gonna cook
him in a one on one because like he doesn't
do anything this.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
This is what Austin Rivers was basically saying to him
when they were beefing earlier in the week, Like Draymond
watched the tape, teams are leaving you open on purpose
because nobody really respects you from a scoring standpoint. When
it comes to the NBA, He's.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
A great role player.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yes, Austin Rivers was saying that Draymond was lucky to
be drafted by the Golden State Warriors that he you know,
he he wound up in a great position as the
third behind Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. It was nice
to hear another NBA player lend voice to what it
is I've been saying for many many years.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Like now I'm just picturing what the timeline where PJ.
Tucker is on this team and he's the Draymond Green,
and I'm like, wow, that's a nice little yeah, it's
like a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Absolutely was the Draymond Green, right place, right time, Hall
of Fame?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Break? Is that the Hall of Fame that he's in
right place, right time?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
And it's just it's just so annoying because it's just like, yeah,
you won the four rings, and like that just makes
everything in your life like disappear, Like, oh no, everythings
are bad. I'm just gonna think about my four championships. Okay,
you were part of a great team that accomplished a lot.
What is that gonna mean when you're seventy, Like you're
just gonna walk around me. I'm gonna be a jerk
(07:15):
to that guy because I won four championships, Like, come on, man,
this is just you being kind of a jerk being
who you are, and you're allowing those rings for you
to amplify that, and it be okay, Stu.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
He went on to explain to Charles Barkley in that
clip on Inside the NBA, the goal is to always
compete at a championship standard. As you get older, you
have to redefine what success is. Still the most sellouts
in the NBA, Still the most nationally televised games in
the NBA, Draymond Green, The reason for those two things
(07:48):
is you have Steph Kurr.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
That's it the only reason.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And by the way, he's saying all of this while
he's sitting next to Charles Barkley on his show doing
a post game.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I mean he's actively moving the goalposts. He's saying, oh,
you know what, he used to be championships. Now sellouts
are the thing. It's so ridiculous. He sounds like such
a loser. In fact, him versus Austin, which I don't
even want to play the tape on that because it's
just it's two It sounds like two grade schoolers arguing yes,
and neither of them look like a winner.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yes, Dan Bayer wants to get in here, Go ahead, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
I think there's also an interesting point as well, because
some of us, I won't say all of us, but
some of us are old enough to remember when Charles
Barkley was not liked in the NBA or had that
edge to him, but he seemed to do a one
point eighty in his post playing career and later on
in his year and I don't know in his years.
I don't think Draymond has understood that, Like, if you're
(08:38):
going to make that transition from player to media member
and maybe try to follow in the footsteps of Charles
Barkley where you should have some respect, I think there's
at some point that you have to have some softening.
And Charles Barkley is not the guy that we saw,
you know, saying stuff in the media when he was
with the Sixers and getting fine for this and that
he turned and I don't think Draymond understands that, which
(08:59):
is an another part of it is, Yeah, you're never
going to be Charles Barkley if you're continuing taking shots
like that at Charles Barkle.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
He also speaks in a very defensive nature, right, Like
he's always thinks people are attacking him, so he's going
to attack back, even in this where he took it
like a personal shot at Charles Barkley. And those are
the worst kind of people to argue with, right.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But isn't the reason for him being defensive is a
lot of fans, a lot of people feel like, hey,
anyone could have won with Stephan Klett, Right.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
But if you are such a proud four time champion,
let it roll off your back.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Right.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Nobody's going to be able to prove otherwise because you
did it and you can't go back in time, so
just let it go. But no, he wants to be
the guy that puts his foot in the dirt and says,
I'm going to, you know, defend myself at every cost,
and it's at every turn. It's just like, no, you
don't have to.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
He walks around with a resume rather than let the
resume talk for itself.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Right.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
If Draymond Green was drafted to the Charlotte Hornets by
year six, he would have been a Beijing duck.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Put it on the ball.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
If Draymond Green was drafted by the Charlotte or it's
six years from the day, would he have been a
Beijon duck Beijing whatever.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Dog is delicious.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
It's north of Beijing, all of the Beijing duck.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Man delightful. I also like the idea that because Charles
Barkley did all his media work after he was done playing,
like the idea that you're there, you're not playing in
the playoffs, you are currently doing media and you're sitting
there talking with your chest out like you you haven't
been in the playoffs at least significantly for a few years.
(10:38):
And yeah, it's it's kind of embarrassing. And it's like,
if you were as confident and as the guy that
you present to be, you wouldn't have to come up
here and do this media stuff. You'd be enjoying your
off season.
Speaker 9 (10:50):
I have a nominee for right Place, Right Time, Sports
Hall Fame. Anybody who was on inter Miami before Messi
came over.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Before Messi is a right place right time.
Speaker 10 (11:01):
Yeah, well they're on the team when they got Messy.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
Like those are guys who are like just just hanging
around in the MLS and it's like, oh my god,
now we're playing with the best player ever.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Who was right place, right time for the heat when Lebron,
Wade and Bosh all got.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Together, was it Mario Chalmers, his career was going nowhere
past Su.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Chalmers thinks he's the reason. He was also right place,
right time when Memphis missed free throws.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
That was another opportunity yea for Mario Chalmers.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gotson Company
live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I am glued to the hockey playoffs. I keep telling
you guys, especially these late games. They're keeping me up late.
They really are. Kenny Albert is with us. He is
calling uh the Anaheim Vegas series for T and T Sports,
T and T Hockey. Kenny always nice enough to join
us here. He's in Vegas. He is a day off
in Vegas, very dangerous game, a day off in Las Vegas.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Kenny Albert, It's unusual to have a day off in Vegas.
Normally I'm on a red eye after the game, heading
to the next city. But our next game is not
until Saturday in Minnesota. We're actually switching over to the
Minnesota Colorado series. So an extra day here in Vegas
and nothing I would rather be doing than chatting with you.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
What do you plan on getting into today anything anything fun, A.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Little pool time later with Brian Bouchet nice, yes, and
then Eddie Olzek is staying at a different hotel about
twenty minutes from where we are. So very nice of
Eddie inviting us to dinner tonight, So it'll be a
combination of pool time with Booche and then all of
us having dinner with Eddio.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Right, does Eddie know he's paying for dinner or not?
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Mike?
Speaker 6 (12:50):
I mean, Eddie is always so gracious, So I know
he had a good day at the derby on Saturday,
so that certainly could be the case.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Eddie is into the horses. Has he stopped talking about
the derby since Saturday?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
We saw him Sunday because he joined us in Tampa
for Game seven of Montreal and Tampa Bay this past Sunday.
He had a permanent smile on his face the entire day.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh, that is so great, Kenny.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Before we get to hockey and Vegas and we have
a game for you at the end. Here you and
I have known each other for a long time, and
if you could articulate, because the Knicks are going through
it right now and New York is very excited and you,
of course, have a history with the New York Knicks,
and I believe you're a fan of the New York Knicks.
What it would mean to that city and that fan
base if the Knicks were able to pull this off
(13:39):
and win an NBA title.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Well, first of all, yes, you were pretty much in
diapers when we first met. Yes, back in the late
nineteen seventies.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yes, it's odd that we use guest bookers to get
this done. I mean I texted you right after the
USA Canada game.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
You came right on.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
I mean, all right, what's going on here?
Speaker 6 (13:55):
You know, you must be getting way too big having
other people touched for you now.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
But as far as the Knicks, yeah, screw up.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
A Knicks fan, and I was a little young to
remember the seventy and seventy three championships, vaguely remember some
stuff from that seventy two to seventy three season, and
had the great opportunity over the last fifteen years or
so to call about fifteen Knicks games a year, with
the Great Clyde Frasier. Not as involved this year because
(14:24):
of the move from radio to television on the Rangers side,
and most of the games are on the same dates,
but called a lot of the games involving this group
the last three or four years, and it's just so
much fun to watch from afar. I was keeping an
high on the score last night while I was out
here in Vegas about to call a game. But you know,
you look at some of the moves they've made over
(14:46):
the last three, four or five years, bringing in Jalen
Brunson and trading for Karl Anthony Towns, trading for og Annobi,
trading for Josh Hart.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
They put a team together that's certainly right now.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Are one of the favorites to go all the way
and they have a two nothing lead over Philly. Made
it all the way to the conference finals last year
at the disappointing ending, of course, but it was a
great run.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
So this year watching from afar.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
Like I said, my daughter was at the game last night,
so she was giving me reports and updates.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
But it's great to watch.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
There's nothing like the atmosphere at the Garden during a
Nixra Rangers playoff run.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
So then, Kenny, I feel like you're the perfect person
to settle a debate for us, because we were having
a conversation, I believe yesterday about was it the most
popular nick ever? Taylor?
Speaker 9 (15:32):
Yeah, it was one table, like who would get a
table if there was one table at a New York restaurant,
and they walked in at the same time.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
And as somebody who has, as you said, vague memories
of the championship and but lived obviously right after it
and all the adoration that all those players got. I
think you're a perfect example, a perfect person to give
us this final answer and you decide who are the
two people? Though, Well, we got.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Great team back in the seventies with they were the
epitome of a team with the butcher Bradley Fraser, Monroe,
then off the bench, Phil Jackson, Dick Barnett, deem Mevenger.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
I'll give you a great story.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
So I've worked about three hundred games with Clyde Fraser
through the years, the Hall of Famer times two Hall
of Famer as a player, Hall of Famer as a broadcaster.
I'm working a game with him about eight ten years ago,
and Patrick Ewing is an assistant.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Coach at the time with either Orlando or Charlotte.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
So he's on the bench and Willis Reid's at the game,
sitting in the VIP seats in the front row. So
our production crew, Spencer Julian also, you know, I knew
you when you were five years old. I knew Spencer
when he was five growing up around the corner for
me as well. Spencer the producer of Knicks Basketball and
(16:49):
Howie Singers the tremendous director for forty years.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
So they put a shot up.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
You know, we're doing the game, and all of a sudden,
during a break in the action, they show Patrick Ewing
and then they show Willis Reid. We identify both of them,
although Nick fans obviously know who they are, and without
missing a beat, Clyde says on the air, it's great
to see the second and third greatest Nicks of all time. Okay,
(17:15):
so Frazer number one, then if you ask him, no,
I mean, I think you have to put him at
the top of the list. You look at the game seven,
referred to as the Willis Reed game, but Clyde had
thirty six points, nineteen assists and seven rebounds in that
game when they won their first championship. If they win
the championship this year, you know, I think certainly you
(17:37):
have to add Jalen Brunson into the conversation. But those
Nick teams with Clyde won the two championships, Patrick Ewling, unbelievable.
I mean he has to be right there at the
top of the list with Clyde as well, when you
look at the career he had unfortunately didn't win a title,
did win in college with Georgetown. But there's a great
argument to be made, you know, it's everybody could have
(17:59):
their own opin. But I thought that line from Clyde
was just brilliant. Great to see the second and third
greatest Nicks of all time in the building.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
No fantastic. And I promise we'll get to hockey.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
But if Brunton pulls this off and wins the title,
okay for the Knicks who are starving, the fan base
is starving for an NBA championship, will he automatically become
the most popular Knick in Knick's history.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
For this generation? I'm sure yes.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I think for those old enough to remember Clyde and
Willis Reid and all those players from the seventy and
seventy three teams, you know, they did win two titles
and they were going up against some of the all
time great teams. Right the Celtics and the Lakers back
then with with Bill Russell and Jerry West. You know
they had to get by those teams in the playoffs.
So for the current generation, yes, I'm sure he would
(18:44):
move to the top of the list. For those who
don't remember those players from the early seventies and never
saw them play, Yes.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
Stu, I'll go one step further, Jalen Brunson would be
the best free agent signing in NBA history. Maybe Kenny
I was trying to explain this check with a free
agent sign I mean, there, if you bring a title
to New York, it's bigger. But Kenny I was trying
to explain to Stu Gotts that if you played for
the Knicks, you're going to get the biggest pop in
the building. Like if Tim Thomas and the Rock are
(19:12):
at the game and they show both people on the
jumbo tron, do you agree that Tim Thomas gets a
louder applause?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
No?
Speaker 7 (19:19):
No, no, no, I think it would be pretty close.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I mean that's still a victory for you.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
Tell me some of the celebrities that go to the
Knicks games, and you know Ben Stiller is a Knick
super fan, and you know we see Spike Lee at
every game, and Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan. But now
you're getting some others as well. I actually sat when
I was calling a game in twenty fourteen, Taylor Swift
(19:45):
was two seats to my left. She was in that
first celebrity seats. She actually sang at halftime. So Howard
Stern used to be there all the time. So I've
seen some pretty big names when I was calling the games.
You know, you mentioned Bronson and Willie be the greatest
free agent signing if they win the championship. I sort
of equated it to Mark Messier. Now that was a trade.
He wasn't a free agent. The Rangers orchestrated that trade with, ironically,
(20:10):
Glenn Saylor, who was then in Edmonton and later became
the Rangers general manager.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
But the Rangers hadn't won in fifty four years.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
It was fifty two when they acquired fifty one to
fifty two years when they acquired Messier, and he led
them to the Stanley Cup a couple of years later,
So I think it would be kind of similar as
far as the transaction that led to the championship. When
you look at what Messier did bringing the Rangers the
first Cup in fifty four years back in ninety.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Four, one table in New York City, Messia or Wayne Gretzky?
Who gets it?
Speaker 6 (20:42):
I love Wayne, He's one of my favorite people, one
of the greatest athletes of all time, and he did
play for the Rangers for three years.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
I think he would tell.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You, I think a great one.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
What if I took this game outside of New York?
Does Gretzky get it in every other state?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Probably?
Speaker 7 (20:59):
Right?
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Yeah, I would think so. I mean probably not in Pennsylvania.
That would be sitting across Bobby Clark. Uh, the way
we get it in most in most cities. I'm sure
maybe Doc Hughes gets it this year. You're right after
the winning goal.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I think Jackies gets it everywhere. I think Kenny's right
about that. So, Kenny Albert, his last name is Albert.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Is he okay?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Albert means he agrees with Mikey a Falbert means he
does not agree with.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Mike foul foul foul?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yes, yes, go ahead, Mikey. Do you have do you
have a couple for him?
Speaker 11 (21:36):
Yeah? I got a couple other than the ones you
already stole from me, Like, well, you can and anchoring
the blackjack table, which were literally said to you three.
Speaker 12 (21:45):
Minutes before you asked it. Okay, Kenny, how about this,
Albert or Falbert? What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:55):
I mean I've heard that term for for so many years.
So I'll have to go with Albert.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Well, he already told us what's gonna happen in Vegas?
Speaker 7 (22:06):
What kind of sleep? Daddy and I are and I'm
sticking with it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Okay, Now he's struggling, mikey are you struggling to find
more questions?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
You have more?
Speaker 7 (22:15):
I got plenty, I got plenty.
Speaker 12 (22:17):
Go ahead, all right, Albert or Falbert? Red eye flights?
Speaker 6 (22:21):
O good one, Albert, because I do take about I mean,
I'm not saying I enjoyed it.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Might rather if I could help it.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
But due to my jigsaw puzzle of the schedule, I'm
probably on about six to eight red eye flights every year.
And it is better, in my opinion, than wasting the
entire next day.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
You know, you get at six am.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Sleep for a couple hours, as opposed to staying over
and then not getting home till five or six at night.
Speaker 11 (22:50):
All Right, you're about to head up to the pool.
So Albert or Falbert peeing in the pool?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Oh wow?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Not always, but we had a great cool day last
year during the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
It was with a couple of my other colleagues and
r Pool.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
I So not all the time, but occasionally, definitely Albert.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Albert or Falbert. I have one here.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
People who lay their towels down four hours before they
sit in the actual chairs.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
How about that, Albert.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Yeah, yeah, it's terrible. It's selfish, yes, yes, but Kenny's
done it.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
I think I've actually only been to Vegas two times,
but the first time I went was in two thousand
and three and we were staying at the Mirage and
the night we got there was the night of the
Zigfried and Roy Tiger Attech.
Speaker 10 (23:38):
Oh well, kind of ruined the rest of the vacation.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
It was there a question there for Kenny, it was
just an umble breg.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
But no question, one of the most fun nights in Vegas.
My sister works with David Blaine.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Oh wow.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
So I've been to a number of his shows and
it's just incredible. And I took the entire uh most
of those most of the folks on our NHL on
TNT crew. We were here for the Stanley Cup Final
in twenty twenty three. Nice and it was It was
Eddie Olzak, Keith Jones, Hendrik Lundquist, Paul Bissonette. I know,
(24:14):
I'm forgetting some of the others who were there, Anson
Carter right on down the line. Most of the crew
was with us, and we went back stage and had
sort of a private show for about twenty minutes, so
that that was definitely one of the more memorable nights
that we've had in Vegas.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Your sister knows all the secrets?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Then yes, yes, yes, I'll tell me there are no secrets, right,
imagine correct secrets.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
What are you talking about that, bet Man?
Speaker 7 (24:36):
What are you talking about? All right?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Well more from Mikey here. We'll let you get to
the pool with Bouche.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Oh boy, only.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
One, all right? Hours ago?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Albert or falbert Os the Mentalist.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Oh wow, good one.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Albert.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
I saw him well before he was nearly as popular
as he it is now.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
He was at a function.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
I worked the world feed of the Super Bowl in Indianapolis,
super Bowl forty six, and he did a little, you know,
almost a private act for about ten or fifteen minutes.
My wife and I were there and a couple of others,
so I got to see some of his work early
on in his career.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Check out Playoff Hockey on TNT Kenny Albert, the voice
of Playoff Hockey and Hockey on TNT. I am wondering, Kenny,
from a broadcasting standpoint before we let you go here
after you did the Olympic game and called that legendary game.
It did such a tremendous job delivering that to all
the folks back here in the United States. Was there
(25:43):
a bit It's a weird question. Was there a letdown
for you? Was it hard to get back into the
regular season once you return from the Olympics.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
A little bit?
Speaker 7 (25:52):
Yeah, I'll have to win. I'll have to admit those
first few games.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Now, we still, you know, tried to do our best
professional job lead, but I think there was a little
bit just also your body had been through so much.
I talked about this, you know, calling twenty four games
in seventeen or eighteen days for me, the travel home,
not a lot of sleep, flying all the way from
(26:18):
Milan via Atlanta out to LA for another game on Wednesday,
And I talked to another broadcaster who called the Olympics
for one of the Canadian networks. He said it took
him about a month for his body to kind of
get back to normal. It was a couple of weeks,
you know, aside from the time change and the jet lag,
I think it's just the emotional everything we go through
(26:40):
emotionally calling those games and you're at such a high
and like you said, it was probably the highest level
game that I've ever called and may ever called.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
So those first.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Few NHL games, again, still tried to do the most
professional job you can and I don't think there was
anything that the viewers would have noticed that different, but yeah, definitely.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
Were those thoughts at times.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
You know, wow, it just called that gold medal game
and you know, now it's regular season game number sixty two.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
I don't want to play any game.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
They were all important, but right probably probably did feel
like that for a little while. But part of it
was just how the body felt trying to get back
to normal following, you know, the excitement. The adrenaline carried
us through the Olympics. And I was actually on Speaking
of the Panthers Matthew Kachuk's podcast last week and he
asked a similar question and alluded to the fact that,
(27:33):
and I've heard other players say this too, other players
who were involved in that gold medal game, that it
did take a little while to kind of get back
mentally into those regular season games. And I think it's
just human nature after going through something like that.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, no, has anything else changed for you, Like have
you noticed more people noticing Kenny Albert as he's walking
through casinos in Las Vegas?
Speaker 7 (27:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I don't know if it's necessarily more people, but a
lot of people have been so gracious to them up,
you know, whether it's at a game, at an airport,
in a hotel to mention the gold medal game. Somebody
came up to the booth last night introduced themselves to
Eddie and I and mentioned that game and that broadcast.
So you know, it's always nice when people remember, and
(28:15):
sometimes people now tell you where they are when they
where they were when they were watching, so that that's
that's pretty cool. I talked about it with Jack Hughes.
Actually he played a game at Madison Square Garden and
I know him pretty well and I have known his
family for a long time, and you know, we kind
of talked about and then on the on the podcast
with Matthew Kuchuk as well. Uh, just the bond that
(28:37):
that entire team has, and they've all gone back and
watched the goal many times from the broadcast, and you know,
it's kind of cool to be a small part of
that that that our voices will be on those highlights forever.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Very cool.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
All right, go out, enjoy the pool, say hi to
Buche Eddie. Oh everyone, and tell Eddio went up with
the horses already, we get it.

Speaker 13 (30:51):
You know that segment talk about It Tuesday on Hawkman
Crowder in Solero. This is like that, but bigger, bigger
and better, better, And forty eight hours later, this is
think about It Thursday.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
So this is Taylor's attempt to counter program a local
radio show here in Miami.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
They do we talk about it Tuesday. We do a
think about It Thursday, totally different.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Yes, I've got inside sources too that say Solana's really
mad that we call him Selearro.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Enough of Seleariro, I mean seriously.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
So twenty four years ago today, Allan Iverson had one
of the most infamous pressers of all time where he said,
were talking about practice.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
We're talking about practice.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (31:32):
So today's think about it Thursdays.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
What is your favorite postgame or pregame or weekly press
conference moment of all time in sports?
Speaker 7 (31:40):
Wow? Wow?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
So many to choose from.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
It's a good amount.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Take that for data. Data, Take that for data up there.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
I'm a man, I'm forty, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, Mike Gundy yeah, and of course Tiger Woods.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
For me, I'm a man, I'm forty.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Edwards.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
You play to win the game?
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Hello, yes, hell.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yes, But we're just talking like we're just throwing out things.
Aren't we supposed to be thinking about the greatest press conference?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
You know, this is just thinking bit of a lazy river. Here,
take them in data. If we were competing, I've got
the winner. Do you what other press conference or post
game situation did you have one coach tell another coach
I'll kill you, okay, John Calipari and John Cheney, simple
versus UMAs And they had a shirtless super skinny Eddie
(32:36):
Jones among other players coming in to break them up
because the two coaches were going to kill each other.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
A couple of jobs got it up.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
My favorite by far, we have this sound. It was
Coastal Carolina's coach David Bennett the best, wanting his team
to act more like dogs.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
Is it.
Speaker 14 (32:55):
Trying to get our two boys ready to carr him
to golf? Ternment full press right twelve cast loop precier,
our door's open screens broke we need to get a
new screen door. But the screens broke, so you can
come in through the screen, but you can't get back
out of I turned to look. There's a little kitty
cat in our.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
Kitchen, So I said, what are you doing in here?
A little kitty cat.
Speaker 14 (33:14):
By that time the cat turns tries to get back out,
that scream won't go that way.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Cats starts from all crazy, and.
Speaker 14 (33:22):
I told our players we need more dogs. Bows bargain
in the back at to go shut bow up. I
was like, what's going on? I said, as the cat
and house catt in the house, I said, it.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Is a cat in the house.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
So I told our players I tried to let it
out the front door.
Speaker 14 (33:34):
Weird cat's still going crazy in there. And I told
our players you needy bit more like a dog. We
don't need a bunch of cats in here. Looking in
the mirror, I look good.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
I got my extra bands on, I got my other's shoes.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
Be a dog.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
We don't need no mowns.
Speaker 7 (33:50):
We don't need no cats. We need more dogs.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
I think we found our winner. I mean that's it.
I mean what's better than that or worse?
Speaker 9 (34:00):
Yes, overall, I mean, David Bennett had a pretty good
coaching career one twenty six and fifty six. Now he
hasn't coached since twenty sixteen, where he was in Riverbluff
High School's head coach in South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
But I've got short phrases that anybody can identify. Was
a sports press conference and along the lines of practice
both teams played hard man Rasheed Wallach. That one was great. Yes,
I'm just here so I don't get fined. That's Marsha
Lynch and we're on to Cincinnati.
Speaker 8 (34:35):
What do you got, Dan, Yeah, I've got one. I
don't care if it finishes bronze. But women's basketball. If
you remember Kevin bord Seth, he didn't want to kill
another coach. He wanted to kill the podium that you
could hear when he took to the stage.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
That's right, damn sick.
Speaker 8 (34:52):
And tired of getting out rebounded twenty five offensive rebound.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
First time we block out, we get called front damn
blockout for pushing people.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Yeah there's more, but you heard the slam.
Speaker 8 (35:04):
I know we're pressed for time here, but one of
my all time favorites.
Speaker 10 (35:08):
Has anybody mentioned Dennis Green's the Bears.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
That's why we took the damn field.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Yes, did anyone mention Randy Moss straight? Cash on me.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Quick, yell out the name when I say this one?
Speaker 7 (35:21):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (35:22):
That's my quarterback man to you.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
Oh wow?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
What about playoffs?
Speaker 4 (35:29):
That one we did?
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Did you? Oh?
Speaker 4 (35:31):
I'm sorry I missed it.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Yeah, that's a staple.
Speaker 10 (35:33):
I think Cheney. I think Cheney Calipari is playoffs.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
We couldn't do dittally pooh offensively.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Yeah, you were gonna say Taylor Cheney Calipari.
Speaker 9 (35:45):
I think that's a gold medal as much as I
love David Bennett, Right, it's it's one of those two.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, I'm not certain. I mean it might be ivers.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Hang on a second. Did Mike Tyson tell us he
will lead our children?
Speaker 7 (35:59):
He did?
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Okay, I think that's that might be up there as well, and.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Multiple times, and at the time he said it, I
believe them.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
Kaway's laugh is giving us some fun through as well.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Technically, because it was a post fight interview in the ring.
I broke my back. The spinal that's got to be
on the podium, on the metal stand.
Speaker 10 (36:18):
If you want to crown him, then crown him.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
But you have to love the coach that comes on
with his own sound effects.
Speaker 13 (36:24):
We're on a Cincinnati

Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
We have a loaded show for you today. Big guest,
big names.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Kenny Albert going to join us at three twenty five,
Mike Greenberg, who was sitting courtside last night at the
Mecca for Nick Sixers, Big damn Big Game two. I
told you agreed to get to join us at around
four to twenty five. And Colin Cowherd, what is good
to join us at around four forty five. We're gonna
(00:46):
have to be disciplined today in terms of clock management.
That is inside radio right there. But Colin's going to
join us at four forty five today because we this show.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
We're filling in for Colin Cowherd tomorrow. What how about that?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Yes, they couldn't get Ai Colin to do it.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
No, but we'll have Ai Colin on as a guest. Yeah, defineper.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
That is such a good line, soz he last night
we had two games two big game twos. In the NBA,
San Antonio ties their series up with Minnesota one game apiece.
The Knicks are up two games to nothing on Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
But that's not the story from the NBA last night.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I feel like the story is Draymond Green running his
mouth again.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yes, so we have sound of him talking to Charles Barkley,
and there was this, you know, Barkley was basically telling him, Hey,
it's a young players league. You guys are pretty much done.
You and Steph. I don't see it happening again. And
then Draymond's response decided to have like a It was cutting,
it was odd, and it was I think inappropriate. Let's
(01:50):
listen to it.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Okay, sports are for young people.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
You hope to have a great, long career, but sports
nobody wins.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
When that third seven.
Speaker 8 (02:00):
Thirty eight that you said what you said, I didn't
want to hear if he believes what you're talking, Yeah,
I mean I think the goal is just to not
look like you in the Houston Rockets uniform.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Yeah, it is ultimately the goal for us, Like we
don't want to What does that look like?
Speaker 8 (02:16):
Did you see it?
Speaker 7 (02:17):
I'm just asking I saw it.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
That doesn't like. First of all, let's see Houston Rockets
Charles Barkley his last year in Houston. Last year averaged
fourteen and a half points, yea ten and a half rebounds. Yes,
I'm going to now look at Draymond Green's stat line
for his entire career, and I will not be able
(02:43):
to find fourteen and a half points and I will
not be able to find even double figure rebounds.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yes, go ahead, tell it so, Stu.
Speaker 9 (02:50):
In his four years in Houston, Chuck averaged sixteen, twelve
and four, including averaging eighteen and twelve during a run
to the Western Conference.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Now Draymond's a guest on Charlesy's show too, so that
makes it even more disrespectful.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And let me just say this, I don't care how
many titles you win. It does not define who you
are as a person. Right, It does not give you
the green light to all of a sudden be this.
Whatever it is what Draymond is right here, whatever it
is that Klay Thompson does when he breaks up with
Meghan the Stallion and then just goes on a livestaman
(03:26):
says here, I am enjoying my life as a four
time NBA champion. It doesn't mean anything outside of basketball.
So Draymond just because you won those championships does not
mean you can come here and disrespect Charles Barkley, disrespect
the game. It doesn't like. The thing I love about
Charles Barkley is he doesn't let his not winning a
championship define who he is. That man went on camera
(03:48):
every single day and is the most confident person out there,
So it doesn't matter if he won those championships or not.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So I'm agreeing with everything that it is you're saying.
You can't do that, especially if you're not the reason,
the main reason that that team won four NBA titles
and Draymond he.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Is the third. It's you know, you could argue Steve.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Kerr and put him ahead of Draymond Green, but everyone
would would agree. I would think, except for Draymond Green,
that Charles Barkley was the superior player to Draymond Green.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Look, Horace Grant isn't gonna come on inside the NBA
and diss Charles Barkley like that, Okay, right, largely because
he played against him and probably got cooked by Charles
Barkley a ton, But he is not the reason they
won those champions.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
It's such a.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Great example because Draymond Green is Horace Grant. Horace Grant
was the third person on those Bulls teams behind Michael
and Scott.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
He's Horace three point zhos. You know, he was the
first one. That it was Dennis and now it's Draymond right.
Speaker 9 (04:41):
Yes, I am so tired of Draymond Green. Me and
Stu Gotts have been on the anti Draymond Green island
where you could have drafted a ton of players in
that scenario. I know Draymond Green is an all NBA
level defender. I know he plays a big role on
those Warriors teams. Draymond Green, though, looks in the mirror
(05:05):
and thinks that he is the sole reason.
Speaker 10 (05:08):
For why the Warriors were the Warriors.
Speaker 9 (05:10):
You swap PJ. Tucker, Paul Millsap, and Gerald Wallace with
Draymond Green. I hate to break it at Draymond Green.
Those teams probably win the same amount of titles with
those players in their peak.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well, the Bulls did it because they had Horace Grant
for three NBA titles, Jordan took two years off, Elijah
won won two titles that he really didn't win, and
then Michael came back and they did it again three
consecutive titles, not with Horace Grant, with Dennis Robmin.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
So, yeah, I know basketball is a team sport, of
course it is, right, but it you know, in terms
of pride, in terms of what you can do, in
terms of your skill set, like one on one is
like the ultimate test, is it? Not Like I'm not
a good one on one player. I would much rather
play five on five. The better players are the better
one on one players. Who's Draymond beaton? I know he's
(05:58):
a great defender, right, I know he blows, But who's
he beating amongst the greats? Like, and everybody's gonna cook
him in a one on one because like he doesn't
do anything this.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
This is what Austin Rivers was basically saying to him
when they were beefing earlier in the week, Like Draymond
watched the tape, teams are leaving you open on purpose
because nobody really respects you from a scoring standpoint. When
it comes to the NBA, He's.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
A great role player.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yes, Austin Rivers was saying that Draymond was lucky to
be drafted by the Golden State Warriors that he you know,
he he wound up in a great position as the
third behind Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. It was nice
to hear another NBA player lend voice to what it
is I've been saying for many many years.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Like now I'm just picturing what the timeline where PJ.
Tucker is on this team and he's the Draymond Green,
and I'm like, wow, that's a nice little yeah, it's
like a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Absolutely was the Draymond Green, right place, right time, Hall
of Fame?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Break? Is that the Hall of Fame that he's in
right place, right time?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
And it's just it's just so annoying because it's just like, yeah,
you won the four rings, and like that just makes
everything in your life like disappear, Like, oh no, everythings
are bad. I'm just gonna think about my four championships. Okay,
you were part of a great team that accomplished a lot.
What is that gonna mean when you're seventy, Like you're
just gonna walk around me. I'm gonna be a jerk
(07:15):
to that guy because I won four championships, Like, come on, man,
this is just you being kind of a jerk being
who you are, and you're allowing those rings for you
to amplify that, and it be okay, Stu.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
He went on to explain to Charles Barkley in that
clip on Inside the NBA, the goal is to always
compete at a championship standard. As you get older, you
have to redefine what success is. Still the most sellouts
in the NBA, Still the most nationally televised games in
the NBA, Draymond Green, The reason for those two things
(07:48):
is you have Steph Kurr.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
That's it the only reason.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And by the way, he's saying all of this while
he's sitting next to Charles Barkley on his show doing
a post game.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I mean he's actively moving the goalposts. He's saying, oh,
you know what, he used to be championships. Now sellouts
are the thing. It's so ridiculous. He sounds like such
a loser. In fact, him versus Austin, which I don't
even want to play the tape on that because it's
just it's two It sounds like two grade schoolers arguing yes,
and neither of them look like a winner.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yes, Dan Bayer wants to get in here, Go ahead, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
I think there's also an interesting point as well, because
some of us, I won't say all of us, but
some of us are old enough to remember when Charles
Barkley was not liked in the NBA or had that
edge to him, but he seemed to do a one
point eighty in his post playing career and later on
in his year and I don't know in his years.
I don't think Draymond has understood that, Like, if you're
(08:38):
going to make that transition from player to media member
and maybe try to follow in the footsteps of Charles
Barkley where you should have some respect, I think there's
at some point that you have to have some softening.
And Charles Barkley is not the guy that we saw,
you know, saying stuff in the media when he was
with the Sixers and getting fine for this and that
he turned and I don't think Draymond understands that, which
(08:59):
is an another part of it is, Yeah, you're never
going to be Charles Barkley if you're continuing taking shots
like that at Charles Barkle.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
He also speaks in a very defensive nature, right, Like
he's always thinks people are attacking him, so he's going
to attack back, even in this where he took it
like a personal shot at Charles Barkley. And those are
the worst kind of people to argue with, right.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But isn't the reason for him being defensive is a
lot of fans, a lot of people feel like, hey,
anyone could have won with Stephan Klett, Right.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
But if you are such a proud four time champion,
let it roll off your back.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Right.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Nobody's going to be able to prove otherwise because you
did it and you can't go back in time, so
just let it go. But no, he wants to be
the guy that puts his foot in the dirt and says,
I'm going to, you know, defend myself at every cost,
and it's at every turn. It's just like, no, you
don't have to.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
He walks around with a resume rather than let the
resume talk for itself.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Right.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
If Draymond Green was drafted to the Charlotte Hornets by
year six, he would have been a Beijing duck.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Put it on the ball.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
If Draymond Green was drafted by the Charlotte or it's
six years from the day, would he have been a
Beijon duck Beijing whatever.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Dog is delicious.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
It's north of Beijing, all of the Beijing duck.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Man delightful. I also like the idea that because Charles
Barkley did all his media work after he was done playing,
like the idea that you're there, you're not playing in
the playoffs, you are currently doing media and you're sitting
there talking with your chest out like you you haven't
been in the playoffs at least significantly for a few years.
(10:38):
And yeah, it's it's kind of embarrassing. And it's like,
if you were as confident and as the guy that
you present to be, you wouldn't have to come up
here and do this media stuff. You'd be enjoying your
off season.
Speaker 9 (10:50):
I have a nominee for right Place, Right Time, Sports
Hall Fame. Anybody who was on inter Miami before Messi
came over.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Before Messi is a right place right time.
Speaker 10 (11:01):
Yeah, well they're on the team when they got Messy.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
Like those are guys who are like just just hanging
around in the MLS and it's like, oh my god,
now we're playing with the best player ever.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Who was right place, right time for the heat when Lebron,
Wade and Bosh all got.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Together, was it Mario Chalmers, his career was going nowhere
past Su.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Chalmers thinks he's the reason. He was also right place,
right time when Memphis missed free throws.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
That was another opportunity yea for Mario Chalmers.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gotson Company
live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I am glued to the hockey playoffs. I keep telling
you guys, especially these late games. They're keeping me up late.
They really are. Kenny Albert is with us. He is
calling uh the Anaheim Vegas series for T and T Sports,
T and T Hockey. Kenny always nice enough to join
us here. He's in Vegas. He is a day off
in Vegas, very dangerous game, a day off in Las Vegas.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Kenny Albert, It's unusual to have a day off in Vegas.
Normally I'm on a red eye after the game, heading
to the next city. But our next game is not
until Saturday in Minnesota. We're actually switching over to the
Minnesota Colorado series. So an extra day here in Vegas
and nothing I would rather be doing than chatting with you.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
What do you plan on getting into today anything anything fun, A.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Little pool time later with Brian Bouchet nice, yes, and
then Eddie Olzek is staying at a different hotel about
twenty minutes from where we are. So very nice of
Eddie inviting us to dinner tonight, So it'll be a
combination of pool time with Booche and then all of
us having dinner with Eddio.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Right, does Eddie know he's paying for dinner or not?
Speaker 7 (12:50):
Mike?
Speaker 6 (12:50):
I mean, Eddie is always so gracious, So I know
he had a good day at the derby on Saturday,
so that certainly could be the case.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Eddie is into the horses. Has he stopped talking about
the derby since Saturday?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
We saw him Sunday because he joined us in Tampa
for Game seven of Montreal and Tampa Bay this past Sunday.
He had a permanent smile on his face the entire day.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh, that is so great, Kenny.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Before we get to hockey and Vegas and we have
a game for you at the end. Here you and
I have known each other for a long time, and
if you could articulate, because the Knicks are going through
it right now and New York is very excited and you,
of course, have a history with the New York Knicks,
and I believe you're a fan of the New York Knicks.
What it would mean to that city and that fan
base if the Knicks were able to pull this off
(13:39):
and win an NBA title.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Well, first of all, yes, you were pretty much in
diapers when we first met. Yes, back in the late
nineteen seventies.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yes, it's odd that we use guest bookers to get
this done. I mean I texted you right after the
USA Canada game.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
You came right on.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
I mean, all right, what's going on here?
Speaker 6 (13:55):
You know, you must be getting way too big having
other people touched for you now.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
But as far as the Knicks, yeah, screw up.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
A Knicks fan, and I was a little young to
remember the seventy and seventy three championships, vaguely remember some
stuff from that seventy two to seventy three season, and
had the great opportunity over the last fifteen years or
so to call about fifteen Knicks games a year, with
the Great Clyde Frasier. Not as involved this year because
(14:24):
of the move from radio to television on the Rangers side,
and most of the games are on the same dates,
but called a lot of the games involving this group
the last three or four years, and it's just so
much fun to watch from afar. I was keeping an
high on the score last night while I was out
here in Vegas about to call a game. But you know,
you look at some of the moves they've made over
(14:46):
the last three, four or five years, bringing in Jalen
Brunson and trading for Karl Anthony Towns, trading for og Annobi,
trading for Josh Hart.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
They put a team together that's certainly right now.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Are one of the favorites to go all the way
and they have a two nothing lead over Philly. Made
it all the way to the conference finals last year
at the disappointing ending, of course, but it was a
great run.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
So this year watching from afar.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
Like I said, my daughter was at the game last night,
so she was giving me reports and updates.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
But it's great to watch.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
There's nothing like the atmosphere at the Garden during a
Nixra Rangers playoff run.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
So then, Kenny, I feel like you're the perfect person
to settle a debate for us, because we were having
a conversation, I believe yesterday about was it the most
popular nick ever? Taylor?
Speaker 9 (15:32):
Yeah, it was one table, like who would get a
table if there was one table at a New York restaurant,
and they walked in at the same time.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
And as somebody who has, as you said, vague memories
of the championship and but lived obviously right after it
and all the adoration that all those players got. I
think you're a perfect example, a perfect person to give
us this final answer and you decide who are the
two people? Though, Well, we got.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Great team back in the seventies with they were the
epitome of a team with the butcher Bradley Fraser, Monroe,
then off the bench, Phil Jackson, Dick Barnett, deem Mevenger.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
I'll give you a great story.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
So I've worked about three hundred games with Clyde Fraser
through the years, the Hall of Famer times two Hall
of Famer as a player, Hall of Famer as a broadcaster.
I'm working a game with him about eight ten years ago,
and Patrick Ewing is an assistant.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Coach at the time with either Orlando or Charlotte.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
So he's on the bench and Willis Reid's at the game,
sitting in the VIP seats in the front row. So
our production crew, Spencer Julian also, you know, I knew
you when you were five years old. I knew Spencer
when he was five growing up around the corner for
me as well. Spencer the producer of Knicks Basketball and
(16:49):
Howie Singers the tremendous director for forty years.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
So they put a shot up.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
You know, we're doing the game, and all of a sudden,
during a break in the action, they show Patrick Ewing
and then they show Willis Reid. We identify both of them,
although Nick fans obviously know who they are, and without
missing a beat, Clyde says on the air, it's great
to see the second and third greatest Nicks of all time. Okay,
(17:15):
so Frazer number one, then if you ask him, no,
I mean, I think you have to put him at
the top of the list. You look at the game seven,
referred to as the Willis Reed game, but Clyde had
thirty six points, nineteen assists and seven rebounds in that
game when they won their first championship. If they win
the championship this year, you know, I think certainly you
(17:37):
have to add Jalen Brunson into the conversation. But those
Nick teams with Clyde won the two championships, Patrick Ewling, unbelievable.
I mean he has to be right there at the
top of the list with Clyde as well, when you
look at the career he had unfortunately didn't win a title,
did win in college with Georgetown. But there's a great
argument to be made, you know, it's everybody could have
(17:59):
their own opin. But I thought that line from Clyde
was just brilliant. Great to see the second and third
greatest Nicks of all time in the building.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
No fantastic. And I promise we'll get to hockey.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
But if Brunton pulls this off and wins the title,
okay for the Knicks who are starving, the fan base
is starving for an NBA championship, will he automatically become
the most popular Knick in Knick's history.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
For this generation? I'm sure yes.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I think for those old enough to remember Clyde and
Willis Reid and all those players from the seventy and
seventy three teams, you know, they did win two titles
and they were going up against some of the all
time great teams. Right the Celtics and the Lakers back
then with with Bill Russell and Jerry West. You know
they had to get by those teams in the playoffs.
So for the current generation, yes, I'm sure he would
(18:44):
move to the top of the list. For those who
don't remember those players from the early seventies and never
saw them play, Yes.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
Stu, I'll go one step further, Jalen Brunson would be
the best free agent signing in NBA history. Maybe Kenny
I was trying to explain this check with a free
agent sign I mean, there, if you bring a title
to New York, it's bigger. But Kenny I was trying
to explain to Stu Gotts that if you played for
the Knicks, you're going to get the biggest pop in
the building. Like if Tim Thomas and the Rock are
(19:12):
at the game and they show both people on the
jumbo tron, do you agree that Tim Thomas gets a
louder applause?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
No?
Speaker 7 (19:19):
No, no, no, I think it would be pretty close.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I mean that's still a victory for you.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
Tell me some of the celebrities that go to the
Knicks games, and you know Ben Stiller is a Knick
super fan, and you know we see Spike Lee at
every game, and Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan. But now
you're getting some others as well. I actually sat when
I was calling a game in twenty fourteen, Taylor Swift
(19:45):
was two seats to my left. She was in that
first celebrity seats. She actually sang at halftime. So Howard
Stern used to be there all the time. So I've
seen some pretty big names when I was calling the games.
You know, you mentioned Bronson and Willie be the greatest
free agent signing if they win the championship. I sort
of equated it to Mark Messier. Now that was a trade.
He wasn't a free agent. The Rangers orchestrated that trade with, ironically,
(20:10):
Glenn Saylor, who was then in Edmonton and later became
the Rangers general manager.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
But the Rangers hadn't won in fifty four years.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
It was fifty two when they acquired fifty one to
fifty two years when they acquired Messier, and he led
them to the Stanley Cup a couple of years later,
So I think it would be kind of similar as
far as the transaction that led to the championship. When
you look at what Messier did bringing the Rangers the
first Cup in fifty four years back in ninety.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Four, one table in New York City, Messia or Wayne Gretzky?
Who gets it?
Speaker 6 (20:42):
I love Wayne, He's one of my favorite people, one
of the greatest athletes of all time, and he did
play for the Rangers for three years.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
I think he would tell.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You, I think a great one.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
What if I took this game outside of New York?
Does Gretzky get it in every other state?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Probably?
Speaker 7 (20:59):
Right?
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Yeah, I would think so. I mean probably not in Pennsylvania.
That would be sitting across Bobby Clark. Uh, the way
we get it in most in most cities. I'm sure
maybe Doc Hughes gets it this year. You're right after
the winning goal.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I think Jackies gets it everywhere. I think Kenny's right
about that. So, Kenny Albert, his last name is Albert.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Is he okay?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Albert means he agrees with Mikey a Falbert means he
does not agree with.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Mike foul foul foul?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yes, yes, go ahead, Mikey. Do you have do you
have a couple for him?
Speaker 11 (21:36):
Yeah? I got a couple other than the ones you
already stole from me, Like, well, you can and anchoring
the blackjack table, which were literally said to you three.
Speaker 12 (21:45):
Minutes before you asked it. Okay, Kenny, how about this,
Albert or Falbert? What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (21:55):
I mean I've heard that term for for so many years.
So I'll have to go with Albert.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Well, he already told us what's gonna happen in Vegas?
Speaker 7 (22:06):
What kind of sleep? Daddy and I are and I'm
sticking with it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Okay, Now he's struggling, mikey are you struggling to find
more questions?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
You have more?
Speaker 7 (22:15):
I got plenty, I got plenty.
Speaker 12 (22:17):
Go ahead, all right, Albert or Falbert? Red eye flights?
Speaker 6 (22:21):
O good one, Albert, because I do take about I mean,
I'm not saying I enjoyed it.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Might rather if I could help it.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
But due to my jigsaw puzzle of the schedule, I'm
probably on about six to eight red eye flights every year.
And it is better, in my opinion, than wasting the
entire next day.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
You know, you get at six am.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Sleep for a couple hours, as opposed to staying over
and then not getting home till five or six at night.
Speaker 11 (22:50):
All Right, you're about to head up to the pool.
So Albert or Falbert peeing in the pool?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Oh wow?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Not always, but we had a great cool day last
year during the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
It was with a couple of my other colleagues and
r Pool.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
I So not all the time, but occasionally, definitely Albert.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Albert or Falbert. I have one here.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
People who lay their towels down four hours before they
sit in the actual chairs.
Speaker 7 (23:19):
How about that, Albert.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Yeah, yeah, it's terrible. It's selfish, yes, yes, but Kenny's
done it.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
I think I've actually only been to Vegas two times,
but the first time I went was in two thousand
and three and we were staying at the Mirage and
the night we got there was the night of the
Zigfried and Roy Tiger Attech.
Speaker 10 (23:38):
Oh well, kind of ruined the rest of the vacation.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
It was there a question there for Kenny, it was
just an umble breg.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
But no question, one of the most fun nights in Vegas.
My sister works with David Blaine.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Oh wow.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
So I've been to a number of his shows and
it's just incredible. And I took the entire uh most
of those most of the folks on our NHL on
TNT crew. We were here for the Stanley Cup Final
in twenty twenty three. Nice and it was It was
Eddie Olzak, Keith Jones, Hendrik Lundquist, Paul Bissonette. I know,
(24:14):
I'm forgetting some of the others who were there, Anson
Carter right on down the line. Most of the crew
was with us, and we went back stage and had
sort of a private show for about twenty minutes, so
that that was definitely one of the more memorable nights
that we've had in Vegas.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Your sister knows all the secrets?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Then yes, yes, yes, I'll tell me there are no secrets, right,
imagine correct secrets.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
What are you talking about that, bet Man?
Speaker 7 (24:36):
What are you talking about? All right?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Well more from Mikey here. We'll let you get to
the pool with Bouche.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Oh boy, only.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
One, all right? Hours ago?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Albert or falbert Os the Mentalist.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Oh wow, good one.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Albert.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
I saw him well before he was nearly as popular
as he it is now.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
He was at a function.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
I worked the world feed of the Super Bowl in Indianapolis,
super Bowl forty six, and he did a little, you know,
almost a private act for about ten or fifteen minutes.
My wife and I were there and a couple of others,
so I got to see some of his work early
on in his career.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Check out Playoff Hockey on TNT Kenny Albert, the voice
of Playoff Hockey and Hockey on TNT. I am wondering, Kenny,
from a broadcasting standpoint before we let you go here
after you did the Olympic game and called that legendary game.
It did such a tremendous job delivering that to all
the folks back here in the United States. Was there
(25:43):
a bit It's a weird question. Was there a letdown
for you? Was it hard to get back into the
regular season once you return from the Olympics.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
A little bit?
Speaker 7 (25:52):
Yeah, I'll have to win. I'll have to admit those
first few games.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Now, we still, you know, tried to do our best
professional job lead, but I think there was a little
bit just also your body had been through so much.
I talked about this, you know, calling twenty four games
in seventeen or eighteen days for me, the travel home,
not a lot of sleep, flying all the way from
(26:18):
Milan via Atlanta out to LA for another game on Wednesday,
And I talked to another broadcaster who called the Olympics
for one of the Canadian networks. He said it took
him about a month for his body to kind of
get back to normal. It was a couple of weeks,
you know, aside from the time change and the jet lag,
I think it's just the emotional everything we go through
(26:40):
emotionally calling those games and you're at such a high
and like you said, it was probably the highest level
game that I've ever called and may ever called.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
So those first.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Few NHL games, again, still tried to do the most
professional job you can and I don't think there was
anything that the viewers would have noticed that different, but yeah, definitely.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
Were those thoughts at times.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
You know, wow, it just called that gold medal game
and you know, now it's regular season game number sixty two.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
I don't want to play any game.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
They were all important, but right probably probably did feel
like that for a little while. But part of it
was just how the body felt trying to get back
to normal following, you know, the excitement. The adrenaline carried
us through the Olympics. And I was actually on Speaking
of the Panthers Matthew Kachuk's podcast last week and he
asked a similar question and alluded to the fact that,
(27:33):
and I've heard other players say this too, other players
who were involved in that gold medal game, that it
did take a little while to kind of get back
mentally into those regular season games. And I think it's
just human nature after going through something like that.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, no, has anything else changed for you, Like have
you noticed more people noticing Kenny Albert as he's walking
through casinos in Las Vegas?
Speaker 7 (27:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I don't know if it's necessarily more people, but a
lot of people have been so gracious to them up,
you know, whether it's at a game, at an airport,
in a hotel to mention the gold medal game. Somebody
came up to the booth last night introduced themselves to
Eddie and I and mentioned that game and that broadcast.
So you know, it's always nice when people remember, and
(28:15):
sometimes people now tell you where they are when they
where they were when they were watching, so that that's
that's pretty cool. I talked about it with Jack Hughes.
Actually he played a game at Madison Square Garden and
I know him pretty well and I have known his
family for a long time, and you know, we kind
of talked about and then on the on the podcast
with Matthew Kuchuk as well. Uh, just the bond that
(28:37):
that entire team has, and they've all gone back and
watched the goal many times from the broadcast, and you know,

You know that segment talk about It Tuesday on Hawkman
Crowder in Solero. This is like that, but bigger, bigger
and better, better, And forty eight hours later, this is
think about It Thursday.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
So this is Taylor's attempt to counter program a local
radio show here in Miami.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
They do we talk about it Tuesday. We do a
think about It Thursday, totally different.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Yes, I've got inside sources too that say Solana's really
mad that we call him Selearro.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Enough of Seleariro, I mean seriously.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
So twenty four years ago today, Allan Iverson had one
of the most infamous pressers of all time where he said,
were talking about practice.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
We're talking about practice.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (31:32):
So today's think about it Thursdays.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
What is your favorite postgame or pregame or weekly press
conference moment of all time in sports?
Speaker 7 (31:40):
Wow? Wow?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
So many to choose from.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
It's a good amount.
Speaker 14 (31:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Take that for data. Data, Take that for data up there.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
I'm a man, I'm forty, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, Mike Gundy yeah, and of course Tiger Woods.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
For me, I'm a man, I'm forty.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Edwards.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
You play to win the game?
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Hello, yes, hell.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yes, But we're just talking like we're just throwing out things.
Aren't we supposed to be thinking about the greatest press conference?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
You know, this is just thinking bit of a lazy river. Here,
take them in data. If we were competing, I've got
the winner. Do you what other press conference or post
game situation did you have one coach tell another coach
I'll kill you, okay, John Calipari and John Cheney, simple
versus UMAs And they had a shirtless super skinny Eddie
(32:36):
Jones among other players coming in to break them up
because the two coaches were going to kill each other.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
A couple of jobs got it up.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
My favorite by far, we have this sound. It was
Coastal Carolina's coach David Bennett the best, wanting his team
to act more like dogs.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
Is it.
Speaker 14 (32:55):
Trying to get our two boys ready to carr him
to golf? Ternment full press right twelve cast loop precier,
our door's open screens broke we need to get a
new screen door. But the screens broke, so you can
come in through the screen, but you can't get back
out of I turned to look. There's a little kitty
cat in our.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
Kitchen, So I said, what are you doing in here?
A little kitty cat.
Speaker 14 (33:14):
By that time the cat turns tries to get back out,
that scream won't go that way.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Cats starts from all crazy, and.
Speaker 14 (33:22):
I told our players we need more dogs. Bows bargain
in the back at to go shut bow up. I
was like, what's going on? I said, as the cat
and house catt in the house, I said, it.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Is a cat in the house.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
So I told our players I tried to let it
out the front door.
Speaker 14 (33:34):
Weird cat's still going crazy in there. And I told
our players you needy bit more like a dog. We
don't need a bunch of cats in here. Looking in
the mirror, I look good.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
I got my extra bands on, I got my other's shoes.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
Be a dog.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
We don't need no mowns.
Speaker 7 (33:50):
We don't need no cats. We need more dogs.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
I think we found our winner. I mean that's it.
I mean what's better than that or worse?
Speaker 9 (34:00):
Yes, overall, I mean, David Bennett had a pretty good
coaching career one twenty six and fifty six. Now he
hasn't coached since twenty sixteen, where he was in Riverbluff
High School's head coach in South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
But I've got short phrases that anybody can identify. Was
a sports press conference and along the lines of practice
both teams played hard man Rasheed Wallach. That one was great. Yes,
I'm just here so I don't get fined. That's Marsha
Lynch and we're on to Cincinnati.
Speaker 8 (34:35):
What do you got, Dan, Yeah, I've got one. I
don't care if it finishes bronze. But women's basketball. If
you remember Kevin bord Seth, he didn't want to kill
another coach. He wanted to kill the podium that you
could hear when he took to the stage.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
That's right, damn sick.
Speaker 8 (34:52):
And tired of getting out rebounded twenty five offensive rebound.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
First time we block out, we get called front damn
blockout for pushing people.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Yeah there's more, but you heard the slam.
Speaker 8 (35:04):
I know we're pressed for time here, but one of
my all time favorites.
Speaker 10 (35:08):
Has anybody mentioned Dennis Green's the Bears.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
That's why we took the damn field.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Yes, did anyone mention Randy Moss straight? Cash on me.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Quick, yell out the name when I say this one?
Speaker 7 (35:21):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (35:22):
That's my quarterback man to you.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
Oh wow?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
What about playoffs?
Speaker 4 (35:29):
That one we did?
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Did you? Oh?
Speaker 4 (35:31):
I'm sorry I missed it.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Yeah, that's a staple.
Speaker 10 (35:33):
I think Cheney. I think Cheney Calipari is playoffs.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
We couldn't do dittally pooh offensively.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Yeah, you were gonna say Taylor Cheney Calipari.
Speaker 9 (35:45):
I think that's a gold medal as much as I
love David Bennett, Right, it's it's one of those two.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, I'm not certain. I mean it might be ivers.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Hang on a second. Did Mike Tyson tell us he
will lead our children?
Speaker 7 (35:59):
He did?
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Okay, I think that's that might be up there as well, and.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Multiple times, and at the time he said it, I
believe them.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
Kaway's laugh is giving us some fun through as well.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Technically, because it was a post fight interview in the ring.
I broke my back. The spinal that's got to be
on the podium, on the metal stand.
Speaker 10 (36:18):
If you want to crown him, then crown him.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
But you have to love the coach that comes on
with his own sound effects.
Speaker 13 (36:24):
We're on a Cincinnati

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
